Introduction to Me & We

Let’s ask a sincere question: Why am I here?

Am I here for myself or for the benefit of somebody or something else?As research indicates (published by Ashoka), social initiatives started by a person who has a strong personal connection or experience with the cause has a much higher chance to succeed in creating sustainable impact.

In other words, we do best in something we are authentically connected and care about its essence.

Yotseim LaDerech (Embarking on a Journey) Message to Ourselves

We are starting a new journey together, and because of this we would like you to write a short letter addressed to yourself.

Where are you departing from and where would you like to land at the end of this 248 road? What are our expectations and what would you like to share with others?

What personal “prayer” do you recite for yourself? What blessings do you feel will carry you smoothly to the “shore?" Gifts for you: The road to Ithacaאיתקה - עברית

A letter? That’s so 80’s! Feel free to record a video, vlog, audio recording and then send it along to us. Is there a technological way to do this while keeping the info discrete? Future Me (futureme.org/) could serve you. Send your letter to the end the program: May 31, 2018
